I'm happy to say that tomorrow is the last day of the (long) semester, and after that I'll be working on the game consistently for the next two months, minus a week or two of travel. I'm not sure how often I will blog about my work, as I'm really trying to dedicate as much time as possible to development -- and, though I've done much, I have tons to do. I've also discovered a limit to how much I can say here -- a lot of the most exciting stuff I'm doing involves spoilers.That said, know that I have been working diligently on this project since its conception, that I've structured my life in such a way to accommodate work on it (I'm even teaching one fewer classes in the fall for this reason!), and that I've now reached a point where I feel comfortable and confident about its eventually seeing the light of day. "Eventually" is a nice lenient word, but right now I'm aiming for next spring.These are some of the design principles of the game:

*Story > World-building*Conversation > Exposition*The game responds mechanically and narratively to character builds -- often simultaneously*Tight XP and money economy

This is one of the tracks that plays at the local inn. Have I done anything beside make music for the game? Yes! Lots! A proper update will be coming soon, as soon as the summer break begins. But I'm very happy with where the game is now, even though I have tons yet to do.
